Include multiple custom post types [closed]

Question

Hi i want to include 2 different custom post types in my functions files:

include("portfolio/portfolio-post-type.php"); 
include("gallery/gallery-post-type.php"); 

But they seem to break WordPress, it only works if I include only one at a time, do I need to wrap this within a function?

Answer 1

The reason you can't include both files is that you've named all the functions the same. You can't have two functions named post_type or portfolio_messages etc.

Also I see a few other things wrong with your code.

• The function names should be unique to your plugin/theme. So prepend the names with your theme/plugin name. So try mytheme_gallery_post_type and mytheme_portfolio_post_type etc.

• The rewrite array should not be a part of $labels. Make it a part of $args instead.

• Don't run the taxonomy and custom post type names through the internationalization function. That is the first arg to register_post_type and register_taxonomy should not be run through __().
